[00:17.190] |
I'm a ghetto child (Check it, out) |
[00:22.730] |
There's a world out there that I wanna see |
[00:25.610] |
There's a man that I'm destined to be |
[00:28.300] |
I won't be stopped by the ghetto streets |
[00:31.200] |
I believe inside that I can't be beat |
[00:34.610] |
This life could be a ball and chain |
[00:37.070] |
If you let yourself get caught in the game |
[00:40.060] |
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough |
[00:43.170] |
But I don't intend to go down that road |
[00:45.650] |
Just because I'm a ghetto child |
[00:48.320] |
I won't live down to your expectations (No, no) |
[00:52.160] |
Just believe that a ghetto child |
[00:54.190] |
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh) |
[00:57.440] |
Know that I am a ghetto child |
[00:59.960] |
But I can see the best in me, can you |
[01:03.240] |
I'm a ghetto child |
[01:06.370] |
All the ghettos around the world, dig this |
[01:08.730] |
One day I'm gonna change the world |
[01:11.050] |
Make a better place for every boy and girl |
[01:14.150] |
Everyone in need, homeless families |
[01:16.110] |
Have a place to sleep and food to eat |
[01:20.220] |
I'll take every gun off the streets |
[01:22.090] |
So another tear won't be shed in grief |
[01:25.710] |
And every thug in every hood |
[01:28.220] |
I will make 'em change from bad to good |
[01:31.790] |
I believe that it can be done |
[01:34.340] |
Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one |
[01:36.510] |
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah) |
[01:40.080] |
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah) |
[01:43.350] |

[01:44.780] |

[01:47.480] |
Just believe that a ghetto child |
[01:51.130] |
Can rise in the highest celebration |
[01:54.530] |

[01:57.090] |
But I can see the best in me, can you |
[02:00.540] |
I'm a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh) |
[02:04.490] |
{Hey, yo', look at me inna different light} |
[02:07.650] |
{Spare me all about those stereotypes} |
[02:10.250] |
Ain't no madness that'll bring me down |
[02:14.340] |
Gonna take this life and turn it around |
[02:18.030] |
{Now see, the sky's the limit, I won't be denied} |
[02:21.230] |
{Ain't no stoppin' me, I'm a ghetto child} |
[02:23.370] |
And at the end when it's said and done |
[02:25.990] |
We will all be singin' this ghetto song |
[02:29.470] |
I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh) |
